1 General safety information
These additional “Ex“ Instructions apply to the hazardous-duty versions of BM 70 M-EEx level
gauges. They are supplementary to the Installation and Operating Instructions issued for the non-
hazardous-duty versions.
The directions given in these Instructions contain only the data relevant to explosion protection.
The technical details given in the Installation and Operating Instructions for the non-hazardous-
duty versions apply unchanged unless excluded or superseded by these present Instructions.
In compliance with European Directive 94/9/EC (ATEX 100a), level gauges of the BM 70 M-EEx
series are certified in conformity with European Standards EN 50xxx for use in hazardous areas
under
PTB 02 ATEX 1078
by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB).
It is absolutely necessary that the details contained in that approval certificate together with its
boundary conditions be observed.
Note:
Assembly, installation, start-up and maintenance work may only be carried out
by personnel who have been specially “trained in explosion protection”.
